It was at some patio in NYC w laurel and ally and vic? Plus others and there were vague attempts made to make it to a boredoms show but instead my (future) wife and I got shithoused and ended up walking back to park slope for like 5 hours totally lost. Either that or some other nice dude in NYC is prob still confused as to why some hammered asshole kept referring to him as dr. Morbius every so often in a bar, which is more possible than I would like to admit.

It's the Cycle of Morbs (Morbstruation?):
Dr. Morbius ramps up the snippy, mean, name-calling, insulting posts.People get annoyed and call him out (or he gets SBed).If he's still around, he makes some self-effacing comments but never actually apologizes or acknowledges being a utter jerk.Everybody falls all over themselves to pat Morbs on the head reassuringly and talk about how much they love his irascible on-line persona or how he's actually different IRL.

Hahaha obv we need independent conformation to solve this mystery. I think it was before people even headed to the show iirc. Maybe that helps? Although now I am afraid that laurel etc are going to show up and say wtf I have never met you freak and ilx is going to intervention me.

that owl!I love Morbs, ESPECIALLY if he said true Keaton fans prefer Sherlock Jr. to the General!!! (have not read that thread bcz it poll results are such timesucks)

I've got a lot to post in the elevator today.

+ self-pity and martyr poses at being called out
Which leads to the last step.
My beef is that there is no other person here who even touches his consistent level of ugliness.
Overall, ILX has a pretty KIP vibe.
His "schtick" is more at home on SA or some parts Reddit - and at least there he would be downvoted to oblivion.

every time I'm in NY & I see there's a movie I'm interested I think about hitting up Dr. M to jaw about stuff & then I remember that recreational hangin-out is p. much off the menu for me when I'm up there. However I did take a night to go see End of the Rainbow last week + it cost stupid money so everybody respect my Garland fanhood, I love her more than yall, the end

there's something endearing (if exhaustingly predictable) about morb's endless stream of crotchet. he hit me, and it felt like a kiss.

also (innerestin details from wiki articles time): In 2008, New York Press critic Armond White would cite the movie as predicting the rise of Barack Obama, who entered the real-life Harvard Law School in 1988, and White declared that Soul Man was "easily the best movie ever set at Harvard."[3]

morbz is funny! i don't care about movies that much (i like them but i don't have tons to say about them) so i don't think i've ever really locked horns w/him
but i'd love it if he said one of his snippy things to me that would be cool, like call me a fly-brained flibbertyjibbet or something

like there was this post about some women who went to a screening of some movie and he called them "arrivistes" which i didn't even know it was a word and even if it is a word i'm pretty sure no one from minneapolis is even allowed to say it, i think you have to have a manhattan address to use it
